i come back to this every so often, i could never forget this lego movie. its true authentic batman, it just resonates with pure comic book energy and i really think it transcends the medium of lego brick to true quality storytelling. this would stand up as its own series on any kids channel to the likes of batman the animated series or avatar the last airbender. i mean its just raw entertainment, and in lego brick form!! the voices are just incredible, animation beautiful, and storyline : batman!
10 years later, and this is still one of my all-time favorite brickfilms. (Let alone batman brickfilms) I'd even put this over the LEGO Batman Movie! I always love coming back and watching this masterpiece (as well as it's sequel). Such a great watch. Kids love it too! :)
Dyland on god, best lego batman stop motion in existence. Crazy how these guys out did the million dollar productions of Justice League and Suicide squad.
I use to watch this as a kid, omg the nostalgia. Such a good stop motion with a good story and the dialogue sounds like what you’d get in a Hollywood movie, especially in the scene set in the batcave. 👏🏻
Great job... I especially liked the conflict between Batman and Robin, it reminded me of their original comics tension. Alfred was spot on in personality and visually. Bravo, job well done. Music was great too!
Rest in Peace Joel Schumacher. Regardless of the critical reception of his two Batman films, I've always thought he was an amazing director (Lost Boys, Falling Down, Phone Booth) and I've always personally loved his Batman films too! Love the nods and tonal references to his classic bat-films. I think this brick fanfilm (and it's sequel) is a classic, too! :) Long live the rubber nipples!
I'd read on IMDB that Schumacher was originally going to do a darker Batman movie (he was a fan of the comics) but Warner Brothers insisted on a more lighter tone after Batman Returns. So, everything that pissed off fans can be attributed to Warner Brothers rather than Schumacher himself.
@@Blunderman-rl1hc I’m happy with the Batman Forever we got. (I even enjoy Batman & Robin) Schumacher originally directed Batman Forever darker, though. (Look up the deleted scenes) And, had he done a sequel to B&R, it would’ve been darker too! If only…
I actually planned on using Ledger's voice in the end but, when I tried dropping it in, it didn't seem to fit with the rest of the movie. Thanks for the comment!
I like that this video isn"t like forrest fire films where batman uses guns and all that (because that really isn"t batman's style because his parents were killed by a gun)
WOW! BEST BRICKFILM EVER! I've never seen anyt movie made with LEGO with good plot, animation, voice acting, and editing all at once, until now! Very nice work.
My brother (who voiced all the characters except Robin) is an actor, and he actually did have the opportunity to be Heath Ledger's stand-in during the months The Dark Knight filmed in Chicago. You wouldn't be able to tell from his voice as stand-in's do not do any vocal acting or appear in the final film. Thanks for watching and leaving the comment!
:) No movie is perfect, but I really appreciate your enthusiasm. The mouth effect is created by animating the open mouth on one frame, then alternating it with the original version of the frame. That give the illusion that the mouth is moving.
Yes, this is on Brickfilms as well. The mouths are created by digitally drawing the open mouth on the legos. Then you alternate the animated frame with the original, which gives the illusion that the mouths are opening and closing. Thanks for the comment!
Just got back from the theater, having watched the first of fathom events' Batman anniversary re-releases of the classic films (89, 92, 95, 97). And I just had to watch this again! And, let me just say, this rivals even the excellent first Keaton movie! Absolutely brilliant film. I think of it all the time. Certainly my favorite Batman animation hands down! Would love to see a follow up(s) some day! In the meantime, I've always got Batman: Reassembled! Thanks for the memories! I've loved this film for about a decade now, and I can't help myself from coming back again and again! :D
Hey! Thanks so much for the comment; the fact that you thought of this walking out of the theater is honestly the best compliment I've heard. I'm blown away that this has been seen more than 2.5 million times. I've taken a long hiatus, but I'm just getting back to working on a 90-minute Justice League vs Avengers series that has been 5 years coming! And I still have plans for a 3rd and final installment to the series. Batman Reconstructed, perhaps?
@@ChristoferMatthias Only now saw this comment (thanks RUclips notification system) because I just re-watched the films yet again. I'm very excited for Justice League vs Avengers (have been since it was announced) and would always welcome another installment to your unique take on the Dark Knight. As much as I love trilogies, I wish it could go on forever - but sometimes it's best to hang up the cape and cowl on a high note. Looking forward to Batman Reconstructed! (And, of course, JL v A as well) Thanks for responding! :)
Thanks. The mouths are created by digitally drawing the open mouth on the legos. Then you alternate the animated frame with the original, which gives the illusion that the mouths are opening and closing.
Thanks for the complement. Yes, you can see a bit of putty that was used to keep him standing. We digitally removed most of it, but we couldn't get everything. Hopefully it's not too noticeable.
I usually shoot by frames per second. It will vary depending on the look you want. Batman Rebuilt was shot a 16 frames per second (fps). That seems to be a pretty good speed for RUclips, although 24 fps is the speed of professional films/animations. Hope that helps!
Great job. Very good indeed. The best thing about this is there is it gets straight to the point of the video. However, ForrestFire just jokes about, then gets to the script, then jokes about again, and so on. But ForrestFire is as good as you. So keep up the good work.
I had a great set designer who put in a lot of time and hard work to make it look like it did. Proper lighting is also very important. Thanks, I will pass on your compliments!
I've got the get some answers about the story. is the reassembled a follow up on this movie? And if so, did the joker try to kill penguin and two-face, but acted like they were working together, and is that the reason they tried to kill each other in reassembled?
Thanks! The mouths are created by digitally drawing the open mouth on the legos. Then you alternate the animated frame with the original, which gives the illusion that the mouths are opening and closing.
This is Fantastic!! Such awesome Effects! I am currently working on a Lego Batman/L.A Noire Mash up The Trailer just came out and the video should be ready to go in a week.
awesome, ive watched this so many times!
Wow, Forrest!
Legendary
🔥

@@theotv1647 Oh yeah lets do it together XD
Found this video on my recommended and found forrestfire in the comments

Better than the Lego Batman Movie, that's for sure!
Dyland Pictures Agreed
I remembered watching this this when I was in kindergarten. Now I’m a senior.. damn, time flies..
So nostalgic
You watched this as a kid too?
YES! It was like the first I watched, along with ForrestFire101. Ahhh the memories, it was like in 2008
+Lego ManiacFilms ME TOO
Lego Maniac same xDxdXdxdXdXd
F.P.P Extra Future you gay!
This was like one of the first Lego stop motions i ever watched on YT and it still Holds up.
I use to watch this as a kid, omg the nostalgia. Such a good stop motion with a good story and the dialogue sounds like what you’d get in a Hollywood movie, especially in the scene set in the batcave. 👏🏻
I'm so pissed of that you dont make these videos anymore :(
Wasn't talking to you! I forbid you from checking out mine!
Took me a lot to find this again! I used to watch it when I was 8/9 and now Im 24, time goes so fast
Glad you found it again! Time just keeps going faster man, I was 18 when we shot this and now I'm 34 with a couple of kids 🤯

2020 and this is still nostalgic.
Bruh the nostalgia
wow, that was very well done!
WOW! BEST BRICKFILM EVER!
I've never seen anyt movie made with LEGO with good plot, animation, voice acting, and editing all at once, until now!
Very nice work.
"By tomorrow, we'll be 3 of the richest blighters on the face of the earth, lets move" priceless!
I remember watching this as a kid!
Damn the nostalgia is real
Awesome video. One of the best youtube videos I've ever seen. Rubber Nipples!

Ya know,i take an interest in things like this Caleb

This is frigging epic! Love the whole design and layout. The Penguin and the news anchor were hysterical. I'd love to make one of these.
Yes, this is on Brickfilms as well. The mouths are created by digitally drawing the open mouth on the legos. Then you alternate the animated frame with the original, which gives the illusion that the mouths are opening and closing. Thanks for the comment!
0:00-0:26 You sure about Joel Schumacher?
5:44 My GOD
That was freaking amazing! I loved the usage of both stop motion and live action. I also liked the green screen usage.
I downloaded stock footage and composited it onto the footage of the Legos for the most part. There were a few effects that we digitally animated in.
You have the best lego "stopmotion" video i've ever seen it is so realistic and awesome!
"I want you to know....your my number one guy." That was awesome.
I must say, this really is magnificent! A worthy tribute to the Caped Crusader!
Awesome man!!!

si!! de todos los vídeos que eh visto de lego, este es el mejor
thats the best batman movie ever!no badwords good lighting and sound effects and you got th voices right!
Thanks. The mouths are created by digitally drawing the open mouth on the legos. Then you alternate the animated frame with the original, which gives the illusion that the mouths are opening and closing.
Thanks for the complement. Yes, you can see a bit of putty that was used to keep him standing. We digitally removed most of it, but we couldn't get everything. Hopefully it's not too noticeable.
I put this video in my favorites and playlist. It is the most stupendous video I've ever seen!
Thanks. I'm glad you like it. It took about two weeks for the production. But we were working on it constantly.
In this one, Alfred reminds me a lot of Q from the Bond movies... I love it!
Favorited this movie awhile ago and rewatching it, 5/5 again! :o
I actually have seen some of yours already. Your Batman trailer is one of the best I've seen and your Lego Ultimatum looks awesome!
That was brilliant. Best LEGO Batman brickfilm if you ask me
i think his cars come in worst conditions
Awesome ! Great lighting and framing ! It is still outstanding in 2020 !
Loved the news reporter who yelled everything. Funny.
this is the best lego batman movie i have ever seen . you are really good at dis
In the beginning he had the Two-Face body. During the scene beside the shuttle, he was supposed to be in disguise. I'm glad you enjoyed the movie!
I'm glad you liked the movie! Hopefuly we will have time to make a sequel soon!
this is good this is REAL good. brings back memories from my childhood-U MAKE ME FEEL OLD!!!
that was one of the best lego batman vids ive ever seen since forrestfire 101!!! kudos man
The end was great! "Its all part of the plan." (BANG)
It was styrofoam that we sculpted and painted. Thanks for the comment!
This is like the best thing ever seriously man
you should so make a sequel its brilliant.
Great job Chris! The facial animation was also very well done.
I usually shoot by frames per second. It will vary depending on the look you want. Batman Rebuilt was shot a 16 frames per second (fps). That seems to be a pretty good speed for RUclips, although 24 fps is the speed of professional films/animations. Hope that helps!
awesome, love how you put all the live action stuff and your takes torgether
He’s got us! We’re going down! 6:08
Great job. Very good indeed. The best thing about this is there is it gets straight to the point of the video. However, ForrestFire just jokes about, then gets to the script, then jokes about again, and so on. But ForrestFire is as good as you. So keep up the good work.
Thanks. I'm woking on a live-action movie right now, but I will definitely consider making another before long.
One of the best lego movies iv seen.
Where did you get all those sound effects? Like Robins jet ski and batmans batmobile?
one of the best batman videos i've seen
My favorite gum is not orbit!!!!
He was supposed to be disguised as a NASA technician :-). Thanks for the complements!
2022 y esto sigue siendo un clásico video de LEGO en stop motion
Very funny, well put together. I like how Two Face talks out of different sides of his mouth. Your city set was sweet too! Announcer = Hilarious!
This film is epic. You have inspired me to start making my own stop motion lego movies.
I had a great set designer who put in a lot of time and hard work to make it look like it did. Proper lighting is also very important. Thanks, I will pass on your compliments!
Thanks for the suggestion, we know where we want to go with a sequel, which is similar to what you suggested!
That newsreporter's funny.
The way he says the villain's name
the best lego batman i have ever seen
That was awesome!
Nice, very impressive! That was super awesome, great design!
more for the love of god you make the best stop motions its been to long
I've got the get some answers about the story. is the reassembled a follow up on this movie? And if so, did the joker try to kill penguin and two-face, but acted like they were working together, and is that the reason they tried to kill each other in reassembled?
The penguin is captain boomerangs voice
1,000,000 VIEWS!!!! WOO-HOO!!! :D
Great job! Cannot wait to see the sequel! :)
fantastic great work mate keep it up
Thanks! The mouths are created by digitally drawing the open mouth on the legos. Then you alternate the animated frame with the original, which gives the illusion that the mouths are opening and closing.
Very original, great voice acting!
Keep up the good work!
Why did Joker give Batman and Robin a Riddler-style type of clue?
this video described my childhood.
That's true. We were working with a lot of older LEGO pieces, which limited the bodies/skin tones we were able to use.
Yes sir. Never trust the Joker ;)
I'm glad you enjoyed it, of all the lines I would imagine someone quoting... this one by far takes the cake! Thanks for watching!
Wow, fantasitic backround and great ending!
Best ever!!! This is top notch!
Thanks for backing me up on this one :)
We digitally moved them and then alternated the frames. It's very similar to the way the mouths are moved.
Thanks man, I'm glad you enjoyed it!
man that's sick. Great work!
Maybe at some point. For now, I'm developing several other projects.
I was contemplating whether you leave your girlfriends or your cars in worse condition
This is Fantastic!! Such awesome Effects! I am currently working on a Lego Batman/L.A Noire Mash up The Trailer just came out and the video should be ready to go in a week.
I loved this particular video before I even had a youtube acount
We did it in 2 -3 weeks. Normally it would have taken much longer, but we were working against a deadline. Thanks for watching!
